The Cowin Showjet (炫界) is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese manufacturer Cowin Auto (subsidiary of Chery). The model shared the platform with the earlier introduced Chery Tiggo 5x and is designed by Pininfarina.[2]
The Cowin Showjet was revealed on 24 December 2019. The Showjet is positioned below the compact Cowin X3 as Cowin's latest budget crossover.[3][4]
The Cowin Showjet was sold with a lone engine option, a 1.5-litre inline-4 engine mated to either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT delivering 116 PS (85 kW; 114 hp) and 143 N⋅m (105 lb⋅ft; 14.6 kg⋅m) of torque.[5]
A variant called the Cowin Showjet Pro was launched in 2021, with the production of the Showjet Pro starting in March 2021. The Cowin Showjet Pro features a redesigned front fascia and a variant of the engine of the regular Showjet, the SQRE4T15 1.5-litre inline-4 turbo engine, producing 115 kW (154 hp; 156 PS).[6]
In September 2022, another importer also starts to sell the vehicle in Italy. Eurasia Motors (local importer of Great Wall and Haval) launched a new brand named EMC and renamed the Showjet as EMC Wave 3. It is manufactured in Sichuan, China, and converted to LPG in Piedmont, Northern Italy.
